Robbo,

Yes Ok I agree, but to compare the promises of Ketron with faulty LEDS is not a good comparison,Korg bought the Leds in good faith perhaps from China or Japan put them in their KB and they failed, that could happen to Audya, the Audya problem is sheer people who run Ketron incompetence, brass chinned, hard faced, p*** taking, there is no other explanation for it, if I bought a house in the UK and it was not finished the builder would come back and finish it.

Does anyone see this differently?

Never mind it's not going to happen this side of Christmas, we have all been treated like children by Ketron including AJ he must be sick of them, given a telling off by the Itailians about 5. I wouldn't want to be associated with them If I was a dealer. We have been told will will have OS4 for Christmas, they are never to be trusted again, who said they read this, never in the manner of man do they. Even the dealers have been told to keep their mouths shut! Would not surprise me in the least that Audya 2 will be released in Jan 2010 and Audya binned along with OS4, there won't be anymore OSSSS for Audya 1, AJ will there be an Audya 5 , you may need to ring Ketron before you answer that??? !

with every purchase there should be a warning that says ' the buyer beware' . If the audya , pPA2X,Tyros 3 or G70 did not do what it was promised to do from day 1 then dont purchase it. If it started to fail within whatever your countries cooling off period is then take it back and get your money back. There were enough warnings on this forum about the Audya and its capabilities to provide all the chordal variations using audio and when it became apparrent that the company was pulling a fast one by substituting midi tracks in place of the limited audio tracks, that should have been enough for cutomers to be wary of the manufacturer promising one thing but delivering another.

Waiting for an update that would make the product work the way it should have from the outset is a mistake and for some here....a very expensive one.

Listen, i sympathise with all those that bought the audya and are unhappy with their purchase. Honestly i am. I too have become so excited about a purchase that i bought it without listening to the concerns that were in abundance about the product before i bought it. But as far as the Audya being incomplete is concerned in terms of editing facilities sequencer etc..... the product didnt have it when it was bought so how can that be a cause of complaint ??? As far as the bugs are concerned if you are way past your cooling off period then you need to look to the law for help . Maybe some kind of class act against Ketron for selling a product that was not fit for the purpose. The same thing happened with the Korg PA2X and the LED's and various other problems with it but those on the korg forum took positive action and let Korg know as a collective what they could do even to the point of threatening legal action against the dealers and boycotting them. The only way to get some real action out of ketron is to hit them in their pockets.

Yeah, and specially when speak about PC operatingsystems from MS that always has been
full of challenges for the users who "kindly" have to be the betatesters even when
paid non reduced price for a non finished product.
Anyway, XP finally worked out to be reasonable stable, so have Vista, and W7 seems to
be better than any other at first release.... or?

But as read before at the fora around, mind you if it was a brand new car electronic
system who acted unstable like that, would we be as patient as we are as keyboard or
PC customers?

Cheers

Spalding where have you been all my life, a man with and abundance of brains, I agree with most of it and hit Ketron in their pockets you have just succeeded, but just imagine if Ketron did bring out Audya 2 after Christmas it would be same as son of Audya, SSDD (Same S**t Different Day), and people would be fooled again, but not this old fool Never Again Ketron, Spalding you could be the leader of the NAK club! Hope they don’t use the same LEDs as Korg on the Audya2, Spalding bet when Audya2 comes out the first version of OS will be OS4, if AJ as anything to do with it would make it OS5, high 5 AJ !

Maybe not.

Cheers Spalding

Jonny,

Ketron are not like car manufactures, like BMW, when you buy a BMW you are buying something that has been fully tested and if it goes wrong they will take it back and repair it, they will recall it if there is a worldwide problem, Ketron are still thinking about how the Audya should be, they look at other KB and try and tweak theirs to match, the delay in OS4 speaks volumes to me, they have lost the plot. I even think AJ has had enough and who would blame him, if you chopped his head off he would have Ketron in rings like a tree, he’s has supported them and was once the guru on this site. I hope they ashamed of themselves, I don’t think they are they are thick skinned, gagging orders are for the high courts.

Cheers

Count down now at 3 ...

AJ,

I give in, you got me, you win, you beat me ,I'm done for, I'm wacked, I'm down and out, what more can I say, I thought the numbers game was over, thought you had been captured by aliens! A Merry Christmas to all Ketron programmers, well just the 1, there I go again with the numbers game.

Cheers

This is rather sill AJ.

Guys....!!!
The OS will be released for the NAMM show that's on the 14th of January. So expect it between the 11th and the 14th of January.

OK.... countdown abolished.

James

Easy, countown are weeks, so NAMM is the goal

Anyway,
does anyone know if there are any hardware changes or differences between the first
release of Audya and the keyboards shipped loaded with OS2A ?
